Thanks for the replies. I haven't got a price from the installer yet, as I wanted to find out whether it was really worth doing it or not. I can't imagine much is going to go wrong in the first 3 years anyway. I did phone Baxi Potterton UK whose outsource their servicing to HeatTeam and...

What about doing it yourself? I bought a similar setup from Siemens and it was a doddle... :D

Hi Guys, Last year we had a brand new central heating system put in. Potterton Gold 28HE boiler with Stelrad radiators. It has been brilliant! It is now coming up to 1 year and I was wandering whether it is worth getting an annual service/inspection done? As part of the 3 Year Potterton...

Thanks JJ. I'll give it a go.

Hi Guys, As the title suggests I want to skim over a Lath and plaster ceiling in my old house. The ceiling is pretty solid but has a few cracks. What the best way to prep this before skimming? Shall I give it a coat of PVA(2to1) first? As a side question - why do you use PVA before...

Thanks for the advice - I'll give it a go.

Hi Guys, I've never done any tiling before but most people I speak to say that's not that hard and well worth a go. I've recently moved into an old house with a really old bathroom that I am getting replaced. The plumbers are booked in for late October. Question 1: Is it worth re-tiling...

Thanks for the replies. It looks like a thermostatic is the way to go then. I'll have a look at those makes. How significant is the 17%? Am I really going to notice it? 9.8l per minute seems like a hell of a lot of hot water to come out of a shower...

Hi Guys, We're in the process of choosing a new bathroom and need a new shower to go over a corner bath. We're also having a combi boiler fitted at the same time (Potterton Gold 24HE). We want a really nice shower and wandered what the best route was? My folks have the New Team...

So I have nothing to worry about. :) Thanks for the pointers.

So as long as the radiators are greater than the minimum BTU/kW required in my calculation I have nothing to worry about...? I'll have a look at the Baxi Platinum too.

Thanks for the reply Dave. Another bonus with the Potterton is that it comes with a 3 year parts and labout warranty, so they must be pretty confident in the product. A friend has the larger 33kW version and it is great. This one will do 9.8l/min which should be fine. Where you said...

Hi Guys, I have recently bought a little 2 bedroom mid terraced house. It's quite small and I have arranged for a corgi engineer to come and install a new boiler and radiators. (It only had night storage heaters in it before) I am going to supply all parts but I need some help selecting...
